When i was young i read the constitution. Why do people insist on calling our republic a democracy. There is a difference. No democracy in America.

I remember reading about an incident during the Constitutional Convention. Someone accused another attendee of wanting a democracy. They almost had a duel over it. Everyone knew democracies were a disaster.

Words are cheap - it’s actions that matter. And the term is commonly used. If perverts and DC thugs can call a man a woman then it’s OK with me to use the terms Republic and democracy interchangeable... What matters to me is we get the totalitarian thugs out of office ... vote them out to the dust bin of history.
